Sandy Warner - The Definitive Album Cover Collection

Pages: 1 11 replies

Hello TC'ers,

I have thought for years that it would be great to develop a thread dedicated to Exotica Girl #1, Sandy Warner, and her album covers.

As is known, she did 16 covers for Martin Denny, but I am interested in using the collective brain trust here to help flesh out the mystery of the Mystery Girl...


Martin Denny - Exotica


Martin Denny - Exotica Vol. II


Martin Denny - Forbidden Island


Martin Denny - Primitiva


Martin Denny - Hypnotique


Martin Denny - Afro-Desia


Martin Denny - Exotica Vol. III


Martin Denny - The Enchanted Sea


Martin Denny - Quiet Village


Martin Denny - Romantica


Chick Floyd and His Orchestra - Little Grass Shack


Sandy Warner - Fair & Warner


Ethel Azama - Exotic Dreams

I will add more as I have time...I hope you all can add some more as well...

T

Primativa is my fave ... Yeow !

yes..but where is she now??..this thread needs a follow up post tracing her career in words and picture...

..and i don't think that's her on grass shack or forbidden island...unless she had plastic surgery inbetween albums...

I believe these are her as well. I don't really know anything about her, other than she did actually record her own (non-exotica_ solo LP.

S

She did at least 36 different covers.

She also appeared in a number of movies and TV shows.

Evidently, she pretty much retired in the 60's. At least there seems to be very little info on her career after about 1967. Presumably, that's about the time she got married.

Evidence also indicates that she dies in LA in 1995, at the age of 60.

IMDB lists her as alive

IMDB: Sandy Warner

Wikepedia lists a date of death.

Wikepedia: Sandra Warner

and we know how reliable Wikepedia is.

S

From the City of Los Angeles.

Name, birthdate, and birth location are an exact match.

IMDB gets a lot of it's info the same way Wikipiedia does. From its users.

Here's a photo of Sandra Warner at the Egyptian theater in Hollywood in 2009.

The model for those two album covers looks to be the same woman. The upper half of the face looks like her, but the chin is less prominent. I'm wondering if this is a trick of the camera? If she held her face inclined slightly toward the camera, it could minimize her chin (like foreshortening, only the opposite direction. Aftshortening?)
